Cause UK and Social Enterprise.

Cause UK was created a decade ago in response to austerity. Without expensive offices and overheads, we could parachute in and provide affordable public relations and marketing services to businesses and charities seeking to outsource or looking for more cost-effective solutions.

When done well, PR can be the single most cost-effective marketing tool.

Over the last decade we have helped individuals and organisations attract investment, increase footfall and ultimately boost revenue.

We have the privilege of working for clients who make a positive impact on our economy, communities and environment.

As we move forward in 2020, we have remained certain and constant in our founding mission: to tell the powerful stories of those who make the world a better place – helping individuals, good causes and ethical businesses thrive.

When fighting back from COVID-19, media visibility will help you bounce back. One example of that is Victoria Hall in the rural town of Settle. Its 150+ events were cancelled with COVID-19. Turnover was reduced to zero overnight. The Key Fund-backed enterprise however switched its mindset and became the heart of Settle’s COVID-19 response.

Rallying volunteers, it delivered 1,500 prescriptions, 500 lots of shopping, and opened a pop-up foodbank. It then opened a charity shop ‘Miss Victoria’s Emporium’ and built a COVID-19 safe outdoor café, plant shop, stage, cinema and bar to generate revenue and ensure its doors would not close.

We told their story on ITV Calendar, in the Yorkshire Post and across regional media.
